dancing feet!

 Liking doing the feet and looking forward to playing with 'skirt-swish' (of course that's a word)

next dancers

dancing feet next . . .

more dancing

Finished this one

And just got the bottom part of the black and white skirt to go on this one . . .

It's a very different rhythm (see what I did there) to painting camel portraits, much slower and more deliberate in some ways, bigger colour palette of course so I realise what a messy painter I become when I'm only working with one chromatic range as I do with camels, wiping rather than cleaning brushes between colours and mixing colour on the canvas rather than on the palette . . . so all good with camels:  a bit of ochre yellow in the burnt sienna doesn't go any harm.  But dancers in brightly coloured skirts: blue in the yellow, however . . .

first of the new dancers

Not finished yet but enjoying the process.  Need to make the girl a little less annoyed looking :)(

4 more: bit of a theme happening

Two finished today, and all started on the weekend.  Gotta love annual leave.

the last two littlies

  A complete little series.  Happy with these.

Been a while

Happy to be back painting.  Working on small pieces at present.  More to come from this series.
